Fuse Board Upgrades
Modern consumer units with RCBO protection — the biggest safety upgrade in the house.
Fixed prices • Fully insured • Covering the North East
About this service
If your board still has rewireable fuses, plastic casing or a single RCD that takes out the whole house when a bulb blows, it's overdue. A modern metal consumer unit with individual RCBOs isolates only the faulty circuit and protects against both shock and fire.
Every upgrade includes testing the existing circuits first, so you know what you're connecting to — then clear labelling, a full certificate and a proper explanation of what each switch does.
What's included
- Metal consumer units to the current regulations
- Individual RCBO protection per circuit
- SPD surge protection where appropriate
- Main earthing and bonding brought up to standard
- Existing circuits tested before connection
- Certificate, labelling and building-control notification
Common questions
- How long will the power be off?
- Usually most of a working day. I'll agree the timing with you and keep disruption to a minimum.
- What if a fault shows up during testing?
- I'll show you what I've found, explain the options and price the fix before doing any extra work.
- How do you price a job?
- Most work is a fixed price agreed before I start, based on a proper look at the job. Fault finding is charged at a clear diagnosis rate that I tell you up front.
- Do I get a certificate for the work?
- Yes. New circuits, consumer units, rewires and EV chargers are tested and certified, with the paperwork sent to you and notified where required.
- Do you supply the materials and fittings?
- I can supply quality trade materials at a fair price, or fit items you've bought yourself — whichever you prefer.
